Intrepid Potash Inc., Denver, Colo., announced on Oct. 16 that Joseph Montoya, current Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, will be resigning from Intrepid on Nov. 9 to pursue another career opportunity. Intrepid also announced the appointment of Matt Preston to Vice President of Finance, effective Nov. 10. Preston will serve as Intrepid’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, roles that Montoya currently occupies. Preston currently serves as Intrepid’s Director of Budget and Forecast, while also leading its investor relations function.
“Since joining Intrepid soon after our IPO in 2008, Matt has assumed successively senior roles on our finance and accounting team,” said Bob Jornayvaz, Intrepid’s Executive Chairman, President, and CEO. “Throughout Matt’s tenure over the last 11 years, he has worked very closely with our senior operations and sales staffs, which makes him uniquely qualified for this role. Matt’s most recent role serving as the lead of our financial planning and analysis team and our investor relations function, and his comprehensive knowledge of the day-to-day operations at all our facilities and our long-term strategic plans, have prepared him for success as our new VP of Finance. We thank Joseph for his work at Intrepid and wish him the best of luck in his new opportunity.”
